Madrona Dining & Sipping Society By Audrey Seale, 36th Ave..
The Madrona Dining & Sipping Society has been enjoying our monthly dinners out. We recently had a limited edition MDSS during Restaurant Week at Daniel’s Broiler in Leschi which was perhaps the best meal we have had for $32 and with a beautiful lake view to boot.
Vendemmia’s Brian Clevenger has opened a new place, Contadino at 1602 19th Ave E, which we recently took over for fresh pizza and vegetables—oh and yes, there was wine.
We are looking ahead to another great limited edition gathering at L’Oursin (a French bistro at 1315 E Je�erson St) in May. Next up on the mouth-watering agenda is a return to Meet the Moon in June as well as �rst-visits to Naam and Bistro Turkuaz. One might say we are abundant in restau-rants we love and there is never enough time to get to them all.
For more information or to join the MDSS email list, contact Audrey Seale at [email protected]. You will receive Evites to each upcoming event that you can reply to with just one click. It’s simple to sign up and then you’re on your way to great food and fun!
Madrona Community Council Meeting The Community Council meets the �rst Tuesday of every month (except July and August) at 7:15pm at the Madrona Play�eld Shelterhouse. All are welcome. This month’s meet-ing is May 2. Draft agenda:
• Recap of recent Madrona events.• Updates on upcoming Madrona events, speci�cally Mayfair.• Budget report.• New business, including potential new council initia-tives and call for new volunteers.
Contact person is President Bill Mahoney at [email protected]. You can receive updated agendas and meeting notices by subscribing to [email protected].
Letter to Our Readers By Barbara Parker, 37th Ave.It has been six years to the month since I �rst edited the Madrona News, following a long tradition begun in the late 1970s of mailing monthly (Sept.-June) news to 2,450 Madrona neighbors. During my time as editor, I have enjoyed the opportunity to meet hundreds of you in person or via email. The interviews, the articles, the projects, the ads—all have been fun to learn about and share via the newsletter. Now I am passing the editing job to Christina Shires Lundeen and Kevin Lundeen who look forward to getting to know you.
Christina is a native of West Seattle and returns to her hometown after a 12-year hiatus in Colorado. Christina has been a photographer since the �lm days when she was an editor for her alma mater, and she expands on that skill at her recently-opened Dear Daughter Studio, a photo studio and girls’ boutique on 34th Ave. She previously worked as a marketer at Microsoft and later for non-pro�t domestic and international youth missions. Kevin is a computer consul-tant for the �nancial and medical industries and teaches computer science at Seattle University. He was a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs in New York. The two might miss the Colorado sunshine and certainly miss the Front Range Hikers, a popular group they founded there, but they’re both enthralled with their new neighborhood and are eager to participate and share in the stories of the diverse community that calls Madrona home.
Going forward, you can reach Madrona News at the usual address: [email protected]. I can be reached at my permanent email of [email protected]. Thanks for the good times; I look forward to seeing you on the streets of Madrona. Thanks especially for the support of members of the Madrona Community Council who fund the newsletter, to Casey Losh who is the advertising editor, to Pat Owen who designs each issue, to Tom Nicolli who hand delivers hard copies to organizations on 34th Ave. and beyond. The newsletter is full of news due to e�orts of those who send in monthly features (Audrey Seale, Jennie Grant, Susan Fon-dren, Didi Burpee, Bill Mahoney, Judith Starbuck) and those who send in occasional or one-time stories. Thanks to all of you.

door coming and going. So many hugs at the door.”The community will have a special chance to say, au revoir, to Pablo and John on May 24th before leaving for the Rockies. St. Clouds will remain St. Clouds when the new owner Michael McGloin takes over in June. Aaron Wheetman, long-time St. Cloud’s restaurant manager, writes that, “We are thinking an all-night a� air, starting at 5:00pm. We are encouraging coming for dinner in the dining room and bar and staying for drinks, music, and revelry afterward in the back garden. John and Pablo will be working as the hosts that night but will just be there to share stories, hugs, and libations with all who come. Reservations are highly encouraged for the dinner and those not coming for food can join the party in the back garden at any time. We will have a satellite bar in the back that evening.”
John continues, “So much farewell to be said, but we have some time! We have found a buyer for St. Clouds, a � ne man—deep and soulful and funny and warm - who will keep it St. Clouds (with a few new touches). Expect your long-time sta� friends to be here going forward as well. He will take ownership at the start of June.” Michael plans to have the restaurant closed for � ve days during the transition and have it reopen on June 2nd.St. Clouds has been a gustatory and civic pillar of the communi-ty since the turn of the millennium when Pablo and John took over the also beloved Cool Hand Luke’s Café at 1131 34th Ave. Madrona residents all seem to agree that Mr. McGloin will have some epic shoes to � ll, but the neighborhood wishes him well and all our support in taking on the legacy.
John and Pablo will be missed not only for their food and
warm friendship, but also their vast contributions to our com-munity. In 2001, they founded the Homeless Cooking Project (see www.neighborhoodcooking.org) and, with the help of their neighbors, feed hundreds of homeless every month. Over the years, they’ve been honored with dozens of awards, including our own MCC Neighborhood Awards, garnering the Tyrone Love Unsung Hero Award in 2002, the Nora Award in 2004, and the Good Neighbor Award in 2015. Other awards include the Mayor’s End Hunger Award, the Restaurant Neigh-bor Award, and the Hero of the Homeless. The next gathering of the Homeless Cooking Project is May 17th. Bring yourself, a cutting board, knife, peeler, apron, and some raw materials (no proteins) to St. Clouds at 9:00am. This will be John and Pablo’s last, but Michael McGloin will be continuing the proj-ect once they are gone.Pablo and John plan on opening a restaurant in their new home in Utah. “Sure to feel like a cousin to St. Clouds,” says John. Bon voyage, John and Pablo. Best of luck.

May Marks 41st Mayfair The Madrona Community Council will sponsor year 41 of Mayfair on May 13. As in past years, the event begins at 9:15am at Al Larkins Park where decorated bicycles, tricycles, strollers, etc., their riders, and assorted friends, neighbors, and relatives will gather in eager anticipation for the 9:30 parade to the Madrona Play�eld. The Seattle Fire Department and Blue Thunder will lead the parade. And this year, more than 45 Girl Scouts from Madrona K-8 will be marching as well.
At the parade’s conclusion, everyone is welcome to gath-er at Madrona Play�eld to enjoy the many events and activities the MCC has planned for the young and young-at-heart. Cambium’s booth will present the ever-popular Pots for Tots; Harvard Avenue School will provide face painting; Ewing and Clark are sponsoring pony rides. Seattle Gymnastics Academy is o�ering fun activities, the Seattle Public Library will be on hand with story reading and books, and Rock Paper Scissors is heading up car-nival games. Additional sponsors helping to fund these and other activities include SRG, Lakeview Kids’ Dentist-ry, Lakeview Orthodontics, Molly Moon’s, and Recology. In addition, Madrona Grace church volunteers will be on hand spinning cotton candy and Epiphany Parish volun-teers will be popping corn. Food available to purchase that also contributes to the co�ers come from St. Clouds, the Madrona Community Council selling hot dogs, and a
bake sale. Both sponsors and on-site sales help to defray costs for publicity, performers, and for obtaining a lot of permits and insurance for the event.
All ages will want to attend the very popular concert in the park by Recess Monkey set for noon.
Many thanks to sponsors of events listed on page 10 of this issue. Special thanks to MCC member Barney Man-savage for planning and enrolling sponsors, and to Rob Ward for organizing the many volunteers needed to pull o� an event like this that draws hundreds to the park. Neighbors are warmly encouraged to help o�set Mayfair costs by donating via Paypal online at www.madrona.us or placing a check or cash in donation boxes found at the Madrona Play�eld on May 13. The MCC is a 501(c) (3) organization, and donations are tax deductible.
Spring is here and our hanging � ower baskets will be hung throughout the business district in mid-May. Thanks again to all our generous neighbors and businesses who make it possible.
Please note that our supplier is looking to hire a part-time employee to water the baskets Monday through Friday mornings from 7:00-10:00am each day beginning mid-May until October. Wage is $45 per day. If you are interest-ed, please contact Marshall Walton at [email protected].

and then Ballard Reuse needed time to strip doors, trim, hardware, �ooring, and everything they thought they could sell.

The Madrona News is seeking to talk with folks who recall attending Mayfair in prior decades. This event is an important legacy of the neighborhood, running for 40 years and we’d love to retell some stories from years past. If you have memories or photos please contact us at [email protected].
Rachel Wang (29th Ave.) wrote us in response to Teri Akin’s article “What to DO” (March 2017, Madrona News) concerning an additional local activist group. Madrona is part of the area covered by the Central District Neigh-borhood Action Coalition. They meet monthly at the Refugee Resettlement o�ce on S. King St., including subcommittees on social justice, housing and econom-ics, and public education. See www.neighborhoodaction.info/seattle-d3-cd for more information.
We are still looking for volunteers for important roles in the Madrona Community Council as well as volunteers for the upcoming Mayfair event. If you’d like to volunteer, please be in touch at [email protected].

Shelf Life Interview with John YasutakeThe Jan. newsletter described the Shelf Life Project which is collecting audio histories/recollections of people throughout the Central District. The �rst Shelf Life interview we printed was with Phyllis Yasutake who grew up in Madrona and raised her six children in the same house where she was raised. The following interview is with her husband John Yasutake.
John Yasutake’s parents met at the Tule Lake Internment Camp and moved to Seattle’s Central Area in the early1950s. John grew up in the Central Area, and throughout his career
worked as a civil rights administrator in city government, schools, and transit. He recalls:You stayed in your neighborhood, and everything you need-ed was in that neighborhood practically. You had department stores, Willners, Fewsons, you had a shoe repair guy, Mr. Limbo, you had a dry goods store, you had a gas station, you had a grocery store, you had a small hardware store, Welch’s [hardware store] was small. There were a number of restau-rants, barber shops, there was a record store, there was a drug store, there was a local convenience store, all local families, African American, Asian, Chinese, and Mrs Shane, I think they were Jewish. Mr. Limbaugh, I think he was Jewish. Basically, ostensibly, people who lived in the neighborhood, people who worked in the neighborhood. Almost everything that you could ever want in a community, in a neighborhood, in terms of being a consumer, it was there, you know, self-con-tained. There was even a movie theater on the corner of 25th and Jackson. Then there was Wayne Kubota. His dad was an automobile mechanic, had his own shop. Then the Konos, they had an auto repair place, a body shop. So there were several Japa-nese families, Jimmy Nosho, he lived farther south, but all this is within walking distance, just a few blocks. And then the Hamasakes, they lived on the other side of MLK, which was Empire Way then, and so you know like I said, there were a number of Japanese families, but the predominant number of families were African American, at that time, and so the majority of the kids that I went to school with were African American. There were a few Latinos, and a few people of His-panic descent, but there were also other Asians, Filipinos that lived in this neighborhood, actually quite a few that I grew up with.My uncle had an apartment building, right on Jackson, right next to Wonder Bread. And he had a signi�cant number [of renters] that were Japanese Americans. They came in and...this is my understanding, they came in and tried to negotiate to buy my uncle out, and he refused, so what they did was, they condemned it, gave him what they call fair settlement, turned around and sold it. Many of those families had been there a long time. My uncle owned that apartment building for a long
time, Uncle Eddie, and so that’s an example, there must have been 30 or 40 families that had to move, got displaced.And so, that’s the impact, and now what’s there? Businesses and some condos that were just priced out of the price range of the people to buy back in. Just like I moved out of Madrona, and we couldn’t move back in. I mean it would cost us three or four times what our house was valued at, and we didn’t even own the house. I was leasing it from my father-in-law.But I guess the most unfortunate thing is the lack of under-standing about the history and what was really the heart and soul of the Central Area. You know it’s like this revisionist, “oh we move in now,” no. You had everything, you had a renais-sance kind of thing in the Central Area, and these were folks who came from other parts of the country to live a better life out here, a lot of them from the south, because of segrega-tion and stu�.For additional information about Shelf Life, consult shel�ifestories.com or telephone 866-6488 to schedule a time to tell your story of the Central District.

Focusing On Your Future… means making your real estate dreams come true.
I take care of my clients before, during, and long after the transaction.
Madrona Woods Happy (and not-so-happy) Trails By Judith Starbuck, Grand Ave.The Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation approved the main trail system in Madrona Woods in 2000 as part of the Master Action Plan that has guided our restoration since then. The trails are designed to protect and encourage the native �ora and fauna of this often-steep and fragile hillside, to provide access to interesting sites and views, and to o�er safe passage through this peaceful urban forest.
Over the past few years someone has created many trails that are not part of this approved plan, in the process removing many native plants and creating areas which no longer provide diversity and good habitat for animals. We urge people not to use these trails, not only because of the damage their creation has already done, but also because using them compacts the soil, which can damage tree roots and inhibit new plant growth in the future.
We have posted a map at the trail entrances showing both legal and illegal trails. Trails in green have been approved as part of the city-required plan for the Madrona Woods restoration. Trails in red have been created illegally. Please use only the green trails.
Please note that we have started having work parties in odd-numbered months only instead of monthly. Our next work party is scheduled for May 27 from 10:00am-1:00pm. To �nd out details and to sign up ahead, go to cedar.greenc-itypartnerships.org and click on CEDAR. Put in Green Seattle
